Neat WinXP Install Site

Thrax

Now, obviously most of us here know our way around the WinNT-style install. But many many times, we've suggested people "Do a repair install!" and followed such advice with instructions like..

"Go to the screen where it offers the repair option a second time" or "Go to the screen where it asks you if you want to setup, repair, or quit."

And those are pretty vague, and you can't exactly be specific about it either! But I found this website here that allows us to point to a specific step and picture, specifically step #5. We can finally show people the screen they need to get to, and what they need to do to get there in order to start a repair install.

What if it doesn't give you the option for a Recovery Console or Repair Install like in my case?

If you're using an OEM disc, you may not get the option.
